Moment I am proud of: Despite attending a potluck early in the week, it was relatively easy to keep the calories under control.  Even at the dessert table.  :)

 

 

Nutritional changes/observations: The last day of this week was the beginning of our vacation.  It is damn near impossible to eat clean when part of your diet consists of a meal that is consumed at a 'country kitchen' type place.

 

 

What hurts: My lungs.  I find it ridiculously ironic that I make a post about the pleasant ache of breathing hard during a run, and then I get sick.  A head cold for one day, which migrates to the chest almost immediately.  It is allergies for the most part.  The constant drainage is maddening.  It has been a difficult week to keep up the momentum.

 

 

Confessional: Not enough time in the preparation for healthy snacks on the road.  :(

 

 

Deep thoughts from exercise delirium: Exercising while coughing is ridiculously hard.

 

 

My goal for next week: To not completely bail from the healthy wagon on the rest of this trip.  And for this cough to. go. away.
